Q:

Is trapezoid ABDC the result of a dilation of trapezoid MNPQ by a scale factor of 2/5 ? Why or why not? Yes, because AB and CD are each 2/5 the lengths MN and QP. Yes, because sides AB and CD are parallel to sides MN and QP. No, because AB is 2/5 the length MN but CD is 1/3 the length QP. No, because sides AB and CD have different slopes from sides MN and QP.
